July 27, 2010 - Brokerage
With the help of Pat Benz of the Bell Group, Legal Aid will be moving into their new offices in the Professional Towers office building. Benz worked with the client in the real estate transaction. The Bell Group is a commercial real estate firm specializing in tenant representation and construction program management. The not-for-profit company, who previously occupied 30 Fayette St. in Binghamton, will lease the entire second floor, 6,700 s/f, of the newly redeveloped, 12-story office tower at 19 Chenango St. The Bell Group was able to find the new location and negotiate the lease terms to also include a turn-key build-out and some building and site modifications to accommodate Legal Aid's specific needs. The Bell Group worked with Susan Millham of Pyramid Brokerage who represented the landlord. The Bell Group was founded in 1986 to respond to the need in the marketplace for a real estate consulting firm specializing in tenant representation services in Upstate.
